Time for cuts

We are told by the great and the good that part of the programe they were not elected to implement is to make some cuts.

In the spirit of accountability they have asked us, the public, their bosses so they don't say, for suggestions.

The obvious first point of call is Trident, a useless obsolete weapon no matter how you  look at.

A matchlock in a rifle age and as independant as the Americans let it be.

OK, now we have liberated petty cash (60 billion) lets go and save some real money.

Lets cut tax evasion, unlike benefit cuts, this would effect a tiny proportion of the population. A few thousand at most.

This would yield, according to informed sources, about 60 bil, not  a one off though, 60 bil a year.

Put it another way - we just solved the deficit, we can keep education for our young people, no need to scrap the NHS, we could even have a proper well funded military.


Gosh, that wasn't hard, or rocket science I expect Mr Clegg and Camerron will be knocking at my door.

But wait, those couple of thousand people who will be hurt by this, who do they call friend.

Not me, but it might be Nick, Dave,  not to mention Tony and Margaret all  good friends to the rich who don't want to pay their share into the state.
